Learning French in office

Consulting (Ex DCG) is a peaceful place to carry out learning activities. A large place with a high ceiling and few people around (most are travelling). Large cubicles sparsely populated and people doing away with work and non work activites give rise to a serene atmosphere but for momentary and public chit chat that could draw your attention away.
In such an atmosphere learning french can be fun. The online version of Alliance Francais de Madras gives you an opportunity to learn using an online tutor. All you need to do is to put on your headset and then just go through the sequences and activities.
That is what I was doing a couple of hours everyday for the past week and then today got a mail from my tutor giving me the green signal to take my test based on the sub activity tests that appear after every course set.
The test has not been anyway easy but the serene atmosphere of the place has at least helped me give it my best shot.
Sometimes I wonder as to how could a place filled with so many brilliant people be so quiet void of debates and commotion. All the same, the place is calm and you do have some good rather super brains around you.

I chanced upon your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hearing from you.
